Whilst
searching for Carricks in the Chipping Norton parish registers,
Oxfordshire, I found a most unusual entry for late 16th century England:
the burial of a man identified not by a surname, but by his occupation
alone:
1595 Itm the xxist of Januarie was buryed william the tapster of the hart
1595 Itm the xxist of Januarie was buryed william the tapster of the hart
